Huntington's disease is caused by a mutation in a single gene. This is a genetic disorder that affects the brain and if an individual has one copy of the mutated gene, they will have the disease. The mutated gene is passed on from parent to child. What is the probability of each of their children developing the condition, if one parent has the mutated gene?
